Basically, the goal oriented behaviour (while necessary sometimes) can get in the way of the serendipitous stuff. Cheers, Andrew Hi Tavi,

I agree with Jeri also - I wrote to discuss it. Basically, the goal oriented behaviour (while necessary sometimes) can get in the way of the serendipitous stuff.

Apart from that if you really want to push it and most importantly push yourself further you should from time to time set goals and accomplish them, or else you might never leave your comfort zone...

I guess that I blog because I have to as well. The causal/effectual split is a little too simplistic - that said, it is a useful way of reframing a business project against its goals (something that came up in a review meeting today at work, strangely enough). Maybe there is a post in Causal vs "Casual" blogging? :) Best regards, Andrew Hi Jeri,

It's a slow slog. I understand the concept of causal reasoning and the empire-building mentality that accompanies it - but I don't think it's for me. I blog because I really enjoy both writing and web design. My goal in the first couple of months has been basically daily content-rich posting and growing my traffic. It’s a slow slog.
